Since my AVC-R only reads in BAR and my autometer gauge in Psi, I'd like to know how to convert one to the other so I can see just how accurate my AVC-R and boost gauge are.

have fun!

 

i think it was 1 bar equals 14.5 psi

 

1 bar = 14.5 psi. Some people use 14.7psi.. but I think they're getting confused with atmospheric pressure. Just go by 1 bar = 14.5 psi and you'll be safe!

 

Hmm that's odd then because I was set at .25 bar and I'd see 4-4.5psi on my boost gauge. Going by BAR=14.5psi, I should have been seeing 3.6psi. As a matter of fact, from 3-5700rpm I'd see about 4psi, but then from 5700 to the redline i'd run 3.5psi (.25 bar), and I remember reading in the manual adjusting the sol. Duty cycle to compenste for overshooting, guess this is what I'm expereincing right?

 

What boost gauge do you have? If it's an Autometer, that could be why its off. Autometers are not very accurate.

 

for every 1/10 in bar you can convert it to 1.47 psi.. or just say 1 bar=14.7psi

say .5 bar, you have 7.35psi, .6bar would 8.82psi, .7bar is 10.29psi and so on.. .25 bar would be 3.675psi

 

Yea it's an autometer Sportcomp. When I hit the "peak" button on the AVC-R, it showed me a peak of .29BAR (set for .25), .29 equates to about 4.2psi, right on the money with what the autometer was showing me

 

the Avc-r shows kg/cm2 which 1kg/cm2 = 14.22psi
